Wedding Shower Road Trip

Things are getting serious. This weekend is our first wedding shower, and it is far from the busy streets of NYC. It is at Mr. AC’s parents’ home in West Virginia. We are both really excited about the shower. It will be the first time (in 6 years) that my mom and sister have been to their home. It is the first time my sister will meet Mr. AC’s parents.

I have had a lot of stress in the last few weeks. The wedding is really causing stress in my life, but I have to say I am really looking forward to this shower. Being together with your family, your future in-laws, friends, and family is what weddings are all about. And being less than 2 and a half months out, this is an important reminder for me.

Since all of my bridesmaids, including my sister, live in North Carolina, I haven’t seen the BM dresses in person.

I have asked my sister to bring her dress to the shower. I will also get to see Mr. AC’s mom’s dress and show everyone there some of the things I have started to make, including our invitations (which I will share with the hive soon), fun door hangers, and other cool projects!

Did you use your shower as an opportunity to take a break from wedding planning?

I used my shower as an opportunity to relax… the shower was something I didn’t have to plan or do anything for, just show up it was so nice.

I think you’re so smart to use your shower weekend as a chance to “kick back” a little before the wedding. I hope it’s a great weekend!

Bridal showers are definitely a nice break from all of the craziness of wedding planning! I had a great time celebrating with all of the girls and just sitting back & relaxing. Enjoy every minute!
